Caring for Ducks

Before you decide to purchase adorable baby ducklings for Easter gifts this year, please take time to educate yourself about the commitment you are making to caring for a pet duck. The average duck lifespan is 8-12 years which should be considered along with other factors before adding a duck to one's family.
